Another from our retirees association. Excuse the capitalization, I didn't feel like rewriting in lower case...and I think the author might be hard of hearing: Big Grin



SO MY SON WAS FLUNKING OUT OF COLLEGE SO I TOLD HIM, "YOU WILL MARRY THE GIRL I CHOOSE."

HE SAID, "NO."

I TOLD HIM, "SHE IS BILL GATES' DAUGHTER."

HE SAID, "YES."

I CALLED BILL GATES AND SAID, "I WANT YOUR DAUGHTER TO MARRY MY SON."

BILL GATES SAID, "NO."

I TOLD BILL GATES, "MY SON IS THE CEO OF THE WORLD BANK."

BILL GATES SAID, "OK."

I CALLED THE PRESIDENT OF THE WORLD BANK AND ASKED HIM TO MAKE MY SON THE CEO.

HE SAID, "NO."

I TOLD HIM, "MY SON IS BILL GATES' SON-IN-LAW."

HE SAID, "OK."

AND THAT'S EXACTLY HOW POLITICS WORKS.



And thus began the practice of hiring morons to work in influential positions of government.

This practice remains unbroken to this day!! Wink

Sad but true.

Ever notice that the kids of politicians rarely have a normal job that has nothing to do with their parents politics.

Actually, yes. A lot of success depends on who you know.



"It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946.

The Leftist variant:
My son is failing out of college. I use tax payer funds and/or campaign donations to pay off a fellow Leftist gate keeper to graduate my son anyway.

Since this thread is headed "Politics Explained" an example would not be out of line.

You have to know them before you can blow them. Ask Kamala.
